  When the weather gets warmer every year, it is the time when the snack of "beer crayfish" begins to be popular. The Yangzi Evening News reporter visited a number of restaurants and food markets in Nanjing and learned that the current market price of crayfish in Nanjing has dropped significantly compared with last month. Judging from the overall market situation, the price of 3 kg in 100 yuan is relatively common. Walking in Fuyuan Street, jianye district, lobster restaurants are full of beautiful things, and 5 kg of crayfish cooked food packages abound in 98 yuan, so it only takes about 20 yuan per kg. In the nearby roast duck restaurant, a roast duck costs about 80 yuan, so a roast duck can buy four Jin of cooked crayfish.

  Eating crayfish and talking about "atmosphere"

  Some people love food stalls, and some people look at "Yan value"

  Beer barbecue crayfish, summer is not complete without these three things. Mr. Li, a citizen, said that he is usually busy at work, and his favorite way to relax is to have a drink with three or five friends. There is no need to be "tall" when drinking with good friends. In the season when the weather is neither too hot nor too cold at the junction of spring and summer, it is the most relaxing atmosphere to choose a small barbecue restaurant, set up a temporary table outside the door, order two pots of shrimp and a box of wine, peel shrimp, drink and talk about the past and the present.

  Some people love the civilian crayfish in food stalls, and some people love the exquisite way of eating crayfish. The reporter noticed that, like hot pot restaurants, lobster shops are paying more and more attention to "face value". If most male customers eat crayfish with beer, then girls want to leave some beautiful photos besides tasting delicious food. Some lobster shops start with the lobster itself, or put together a spectacular whole shrimp banquet with several flavors, or set a plate with exquisite tableware; There are also some lobster shops that start with meals and have novel desserts, such as watermelon smoothies and coconut water … … It is also the taste of full summer.

  "It’s too much trouble to burn yourself."

  Live shrimps get a cold shoulder when they go on the market, and more people are willing to eat ready-made shrimps.

  As the temperature rises, the lobster season is coming. During the visit, the reporter found that crayfish have started to be listed in large quantities. "Our lobster can sell 50 to 60 kilograms a day." A proprietress of Shanghai Road vegetable market told Yangzi Evening News reporter that recently, the fresh crayfish in her family were not sold as well as before, "because some restaurants sell cooked lobster at low prices, which is much cheaper than the price in the vegetable market; Many people don’t want to buy fresh crayfish to go home to cook and eat. They all pack cooked food and take it home directly. "

  A stall owner selling crayfish at Zhuquan Road Farmers’ Market also told reporters that this month, crayfish dropped from 40 yuan to 50 yuan a catty to 20 yuan a catty, but the business was not so good. He analyzed that crayfish is more troublesome to burn, and it is necessary to clean live shrimps and prepare a lot of seasonings. Everyone prefers to eat ready-made ones. "Look, the cooked garlic shrimp sold there is only 30 yuan a catty." The stall owner pointed to the stall selling crayfish at the entrance of the market and said.

  The price has "dived"

  The lowest cooked lobster is less than 20 yuan/kg.

  The Yangzi Evening News reporter came to several food streets full of fireworks, such as Yunjin Road, Huxi Street and Fuyuan Street. There are many lobster restaurants here, and the smell of garlic and thirteen incense is all on the street. At eight or nine o’clock in the evening, many customers in the restaurant are tasting delicious food. There are two large pots of crayfish in front of a restaurant in Yunjin Road for take-away business. 100 yuan weighs 4 kg, and customers drop by to carry a box home after work.

  During the visit, the reporter noticed that the price of cooked lobsters in the Lobster Hall is different, which has already dipped by half compared with the price of fifty or sixty yuan a catty in March. 39 yuan 1 kg, 98 yuan 3 kg, 100 yuan 4 kg and 99 yuan 5 kg … … Lobster restaurants put up signs at the door to attract diners’ attention with eye-catching pictures. At a stall at the entrance of Zhuquan Road Farmers’ Market, there are two kinds of crayfish with garlic and thirteen spices, all weighing 3 kg in 89 yuan. Before the meal, most of the crayfish with garlic have been sold.

  In the investigation, the reporter also found that the prices of some senior "online celebrity" lobster restaurants are relatively firm. For example, in Yingtian Street, the price of middle lobster starts from 178 yuan, about 16 pieces. The boss said, "If you don’t sell it by the catty, it usually looks less than 2 kilograms per serving." This means that the price per catty of lobster is at least 89 yuan. The equally popular Wan’s Little Fat Kung Fu Lobster on Yunjin Road costs 138 yuan each, weighing 2 Jin, and the price per Jin is 69 yuan.

  The reporter noticed that the cheapest price is 5 kg in 98 yuan, which is only 19.6 yuan. There are three flavors of thirteen spices, spicy honey and mashed garlic, and lobster noodles are also sent.

  It should be noted that industry insiders reminded reporters that it is best not to buy some extremely cheap crayfish, which may be dying varieties or frozen shrimps in previous years.

  However, like meat, vegetables and other foods, the price of crayfish does not keep rising or falling in a straight line. "The price of lobster dropped slightly some time ago. During this period, due to the warmer weather, the price fluctuated again, and the price may be different from that of 10 yuan the next day. May Day is coming soon, and the price of crayfish may rise. "
